Basically, the parabola has to have all points that are equidistant from the focus and the directrix, the directrix being a horizontal line, and the focus being a point given. To derive an equation from this you need to use the distance formula which I'm guessing you already know because you're already in precalc.
The gist of it is that we have a random point on the parabola (x,y), and the point (x,y) will be equidistant from both the focus and the directrix. If we use the distance formula, you get something like this:

The square root of y-(-1/2) coming from the directrix, and the righthand side of the equal sign being derived from the focus.
All you need to do is simplify now!

General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Slope <em>m</em> = 1
y-intercept <em>b</em> = -4
<u>Step 2: Write function</u>
y = x - 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your line has the wrong slope. Its slope is ½, but the equation tells you that the slope is ¾.
The point (0,2) is correct, but (-4,0) is incorrect. If x=-4 then y=-1, not 0.
Plot (-4,-1), then draw the line passing through (-4,-1) and (0,2).
Hi there!
We are given the set of ordered pairs below:

1. What is the domain?
- Domain is a set of all x-values in one set of ordered pairs. So what are the x-values that I am talking about? In ordered pairs, we define x and y which both have relation to each others which we can write as (x,y). That's right, the domain is set of all x-values from ordered pairs.
Therefore, we gather only x-values from (x,y). Hence, the domain is {3,2,0,2}. Whoops! Something is not right. As we learn in Set Theory that we don't write the same or repetitive in a set. Hence, <u>t</u><u>h</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u>c</u><u>t</u><u>u</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u> </u><u>d</u><u>o</u><u>m</u><u>a</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>{</u><u>0</u><u>,</u><u>2</u><u>,</u><u>3</u><u>}</u>
2. What is the range?
- Because domain is set of all x-values. Then what do you think the range is? That's right! The range is <u>s</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>l</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u>-</u><u>v</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>.</u> If you got this right before looking up the underlined words then a handclap for you! So how do we find range? Simple, we just do like finding the domain in the Q1, except we gather the y-values in (x,y) instead and make sure that we don't write same number!
Therefore, gather y-values from the ordered pairs. Hence, <u>t</u><u>h</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>{</u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u>,</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>,</u><u>1</u><u>,</u><u>2</u><u>}</u>
3. Is the relation a function?
- All functions are relations but not all relations are functions. Function is a set of ordered pairs where <u>d</u><u>o</u><u>m</u><u>a</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>n</u><u>o</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>v</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>s</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>c</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>n</u><u>o</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>s</u><u>a</u><u>m</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>v</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>.</u> Consider the following relation: (1,1),(1,2) - Oh, looks like in a set of ordered pairs, there are two same domains which make it only a relation, and not a function. On the other hand, (1,1),(2,2) - Looking good! No same or repetitive domain, making it indeed a function.
Consider the domain from Q1 and see if there are two same values of x in a set. Looks like the relation is not a function since there are same x-values which are 2 in a set, making it only a relation. Hence, the relation is not a function.
These are all 3 answers along with an explanation. Let me know if you have any doubts regarding Relations and Functions.
